The easiest way is to find a Persian letter that corresponds to the pronunciation of your Persian name. For example, if your name is “Maya,” you can use the letter م for the “m” sound,” ا for “aa” sound, ی for “ya” sound, then ا for “aa” sound. You just need to put them together and write مایا for “Maya.”
